“我们却是传钉十字架的基督”(林前1:23)。JNN269.1

But we preach Christ crucified.—1 Corinthians 1:23{JNN 269.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第255章
保罗打算向哥林多的希腊人传耶稣为基督,而这位耶稣乃是出身卑微而生长在闻名邪恶之村镇中的一个犹太人。祂曾被自己的国人所弃绝,最后被当作罪犯钉在十字架上。希腊人固然承认人类需要受造就,但他们认为人类达到真正高贵地步的方法乃是藉着哲学与科学的研究。保罗能不能使这些人相信,人靠这一个无名的犹太人的能力,就能受到完全的造就呢??JNN269.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第255章
Jesus, whom Paul was about to present before the Greeks in Corinth as the Christ, waew of lowly origin, reared iown proverbial for its wickedness. He had been rejected by His own nation and at last crucified aalefactor. The Greeks believed that there was need of elevating the human race, but they regarded the study of philosophy and science as the only means of attaining to true elevation and honor. Could Paul lead them to believe that faith in the power of this obscure Jew would uplift and ennoble every power of the being{JNN 269.2}

在现代的许多人看来,髑髅地的十字架足以引起许多神圣的回忆。基督钉十字架的这一幕景象总是意味着许多属灵的真理。但在保罗的时代,一般人对于十字架却是非常厌恶而惧怕的。若想说人类的救主就是一个死在十字架上的人,势必引起众人的嘲笑和反对。JNN269.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第255章
To the minds of multitudes living at the present time, the cross of Calvary is surrounded by sacred memories. Hallowed associations are connected with the scenes of the crucifixion. But in Paul’s day the cross was regarded with feelings of repulsion and horror. To uphold as the Saviour of humanity one who had met death on the cross, would naturally call forth ridicule and opposition.{JNN 269.3}

保罗明知哥林多的犹太人和希腊人将要如何看待他所传的信息。他承认:“我们……传钉十字架的基督,在犹太人为绊脚石,在外邦人为愚拙”(林前1:23)。在犹太人中有许多听了保罗所传的信息一定会受到触犯的。而在希腊人看来,他的话也必是彻头彻尾的妄言。他若想说十字架同造就或拯救人类的事有任何关系,众人必要看他是痴人说梦了。JNN269.4

Paul well knew how his message would be regarded by both the Jews and the Greeks of Corinth. “We preach Christ crucified,” he admitted, “unto the Jewtumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Among his Jewish hearers there were many who would be angered by the message he was about to proclaim. In the estimation of the Greeks his words would be absurd folly. He would be looked upon as weak-minded for attempting to show how the cross could have any connection with the elevation of the race or the salvation of human beings.{JNN 269.4}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第255章
但在保罗,十字架乃是他最高兴趣的焦点。自从他逼迫被钉之拿撒勒人的门徒的工作上被制止以来,他一直是凭着十字架夸口的。在悔改的那一天,他从基督舍命的事上获得到了有关上帝无限之爱的启示,因此他的生活起了奇妙的改变,使他将自己一切的计划都服从上帝的旨意。从那时起,他就是一个在基督里新造的人了。他从自己的经验中体会到:一个罪人若能在上帝儿子的牺牲上看到天父的慈爱,并顺服上帝的感化,他的心就必起一种改变,而且此后基督便要成为他整个人生的中心了。(AA244、245)JNN269.5

But to Paul the cross was the one object of supreme interest. Ever since he had been arrested in his career of persecution against the followers of the crucified Nazarene he had never ceased to glory in the cross. At that time there had been given hievelation of the infinite love of God, as revealed in the death of Christ; anarvelous transformation had been wrought in his life, bringing all his plans and purposes into harmony with heaven. From that hour he had beeew man in Christ. He knew by personal experience that wheinner once beholds the love of the Father, as seen in the sacrifice of His Son, and yields to the divine influencehange of heart takes place, and henceforth Christ is all and in all.—The Acts of the Apostles, 244, 245.{JNN 269.5}
